Working on my prompt management tool, https://www.promptshuttle.com, but I guess the idea is dead in the water at this point.

It seems people don't really have a need for managing prompts outside the code https://x.com/cmenge/status/1830534838681485728

Also, proxying for larger co's requires certifications etc., plus stellar 24/7 operations, making this a less-than-ideal side project. I might add some content indexing + RAG features, but also not exactly a new idea...

I'm working on https://tiny-chat.com a live chat tool that integrates with Slack. My goal is to cover most live chat needs while keeping it super simple, allowing me to offer it at a much lower price than competitors. I started this project because I was tired of paying too much for live chat services. Previously, I used Django + React, but for Tiny Chat, I'm using Django + HTMX for the first time in production. So far, the performance and user experience have been great, and I’ll definitely continue using HTMX in the future.

I'm working on a Civilization type game but built on an economy simulator[0]. So far I've mostly been working on the simulator side but I just started adding player interactions! The goal is to create a system that allows for emergent behaviors and unintended consequences of buying/selling, tax policies, interest fluctuations.

I'm working on https://symnix.com/ to simplify deployments of various applications on your own infrastructure without any agents that need to run on the target system.

It is so much fun to build stuff that you need for your own and additionally want to share it with other people!

I got so upset with Docusign being too expensive and unfair, that I quit my last startup to build a new one. I built a complete platform over the past 3 years, that doesn't require a subscription and you only pay for what you send. Give it a go if you need to send a document that needs to be signed. https://goodsign.io

Really good job! Just a note your pricing comparison table looks a bit shady. I think you should give either your per year cost compared to the others, or put the document cost on the others. But the way you've done it makes it look like you are tricking people into thinking yours is cheaper. That's just the vibe I'm getting from it. I think that's what you want the takeaway to be there, so I'd suggest updating that…

The others don't do a document cost, so it does make it much harder to compare.

The others just have a document limit, eg Docusign has a 100 document limit per user. Docusign has a really high cost per user (I don't charge for users, only for sends).

So it is harder to compare apples with apples – at the end of the day GoodSign is just that simple. $1.50 per send, unlimited users : )

I choose 6 – because that's about the typical team size I see with GoodSign. So that feels like a good comparison.

Thanks for pointing the pricing out - it really is that terrible! Hence why I built a product I would buy and I could understand. : )

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The site is quite broken on mobile Safari: https://up2store.de/file/4RpE3Q2fuK8Dj4S4/kjcZbp9k8srjpcx8/I... https://up2store.de/file/4RpE3Q2fuK8Dj4S4/o71komFm2AoTGjvU/I...

I'm using safari all the time. Gah yes - appreciate the screenshots. I'll get that sorted tonight, I've recently rolled those two section out and missed checking it for mobile. Doh... The joys of solo development.

Same thing on Chrome mobile

Im working on https://www.5outapp.com/

An app to track your groceries, to save money and eat healthy.

I think healthiest food is cooked at home and people are eating out and doing takeaways . So I am planning to build tools and features which help people to cook more at home.

I built an English-speaking website that helps immigrants settle in Berlin.[0] It has been my full time job for a while. Most English speakers know about it, but it's nearly invisible to Germans, who would also benefit from the content and tools I have worked on. I'm currently adding an automated AI translation feature to my custom static site generator, so that I can translate the website to multiple languages and r…

I recently moved to Germany (not to Berlin, but seems like most of the content is still relevant) and your website was extremely helpful - thank you for working on it.
